Frequently asked questions

Got questions? We’ve got answers.

  • Be Still is uniquely holistic. We do not believe you can separate your mental, physical, spiritual and social health. All must be addressed to find optimal wellness.

    We also believe in providing a superior client experience. This includes exceptional response time to inquiries, easy online scheduling, and comfortable offices.

    We are training “junkies.” We believe in continually improving our skills and knowledge by taking courses, reading books, and engaging in both client and peer feedback to provide the optimal healing environment.

    We believe in “doing the work ourselves” through our own therapy and/or inner work.

    We are also happy to work collaboratively with your faith community, medical providers, and other professionals to coordinate excellent care.

  • No! While we are passionate about Christian counseling, we serve clients from different faith traditions or no faith tradition at all.

  • During our first appointment, we’ll ask lots of questions to get to know you and your story. We’ll clarify your goals for our time together. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions and decide whether we’re the right fit for you. The most important factor in how effective therapy will be is not the theoretical orientation of the therapist, but the quality of the therapeutic relationship.

    After the first couple of sessions, we will offer specific ways we will address each of your goals. We’ll regularly review your goals to make sure we’re on track with your priorities.

  • We do offer in-person sessions in Holly Springs! Our primary address is:

    1340 SE Maynard Road, Suite 203

    Cary, NC 27511

    Walk and talk sessions are also available, where we meet at a public location and walk while while we talk.

  • Online sessions work well for professionals who cannot get away from the office during the day or parents who cannot find childcare. Research has shown online therapy can be as effective as in person sessions. You pick the location, whether it be your home, office, or car…anywhere you have privacy and a strong internet connection! We send a link for each session that you can use with an iPad, computer, or phone.

  • In a typical session, we’ll get started with a short mindfulness practice. We’ll review progress from our last session and process any activating events you’ve struggled with. We’ll teach you a few new things to either prevent symptoms or cope with them, and we may practice them in session. We’ll help you make connections between past experiences and current functioning. Our goal is to help you gain wisdom and learn new ways to cope with what life throws at you.

  • Most progress happens in between sessions, when you have real life opportunities to process and practice what we discuss and learn during our time together.

  • In general, 50-minute sessions are scheduled weekly. In some cases, longer sessions are appropriate. As you reach your goals, we will discuss decreasing the frequency of our sessions to every other week, then monthly, and then terminate services.

  • The length of therapy depends on what you struggle with, how long you have struggled, and how much effort you spend working on personal growth. Sometimes after working on initial goals, clients will identify other goals they would like to work on and extend their time in therapy.

  • We offer both in person and virtual sessions. In person appointments are near downtown Holly Springs. Our primary address is 300 W. Earp Street Holly Springs, 27540

  • A Good Faith Estimate is given to private pay clients at the beginning of care and annually thereafter. It is a list of possible fees for the services we offer.

  • A major benefit to paying privately is not being diagnosed with a mental health disorder that will be placed in your permanent health record. A diagnosis could impact some careers, such as pilots or those who serve in the military. It could also impact applying for life insurance policies. Insurance companies require a mental health diagnosis to pay for counseling services. We do not focus on a person’s diagnosis regardless of payor source.

  • We take great care to ensure all clients get the very best care in line with our specialties. This is why we refer clients with the following needs to other providers: OCD, Bipolar Disorder, a personality disorder, substance abuse, Dissociative Identity Disorder, marriage counseling, and psychotic disorders. This list is not exhaustive. If at any time we feel your needs are outside our scope, we’ll let you know and work together to find you the best care!
